| Abstract: | This article examines the evolution, role, and importance of soft skills in education in light of the national & international policy frameworks. This study highlights how various soft skills like communication, collaboration, adaptability, and socio-emotional competencies, etc., have transitioned from marginal concerns to central objectives in the modern education system & how its roots draw heavily on historical commissions, national education policies, and global initiatives. In the history of Indian education during the colonial era, policies prioritized rote learning and clerical training, whereas reformist thinkers advocated for holistic development, prioritizing values and creativity. Personality development, critical thinking, and social cohesion is emphasized by the post-independence commissions, paving a way to socio-emotional learning and holistic development emphasized in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. National initiatives such as Skill India advocated for bridging the gap between industry demands and skill requirements. Internationally, frameworks by UNESCO, OECD, the European Union, and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) policies in the United States advocated on the identification of soft skills as crucial for 21st-century education, global citizenship, and sustainable development. This article incorporates a policy analysis approach to unfold India’s performance and discrepancy within comparative global trends. The findings highlight that with effective integration of soft skills into teacher education and curricula, full human potential could be achieved, leading to scientific advancement, national integration, and cultural preservation. |
